IEEE ISGT 2013: Integrating smart meter and electric vehicle charging data to predict distribution network impacts
Overview
The North East of England is hosting two internationally leading trials of electric vehicles (EVs) and smart grid applications.
These trials are enabling the North East region to be pioneering in the understanding of the practical use and deployment of low carbon technologies and their likely impact on UK electrical power networks.
This paper, presented at major European smart grid conference IEEE ISGT 2013, describes a significant integration of these large scale trials, whereby EV charging behaviour data, household electricity demand patterns, and models of trial distribution networks are brought together in a unique study of the effect of all-electric vehicles on rural and urban distribution networks.
